Question: Does the saying, “A judge has only what his eyes can see,” mean that we cannot attribute good things to the Creator if we do not see them?

Answer: It is said: “A judge has only what his eyes can see.” This means that a person must judge the surrounding reality as he perceives it, according to the way it is received in his Kelim (vessels of perception).

If a person is developed to only 20%, then he sees the reality around him according to that degree and cannot perceive it differently. If he wishes to see it differently, he must raise himself to a 30% level of development.

But at every stage, “one who condemns does so through his own flaw.” I always see through my own eyes, through my own Kli (vessel of perception). Therefore, it is impossible to demand that a person understand things differently. Correct him, and then, as a result of that correction, he will behave differently and understand differently.

But a person cannot simply change on his own. Such a change can come only as the result of many blows, study, and influences from the outside. There is no other way. Therefore, “a judge has only what his eyes can see” means that a person perceives reality only through what his Kli is capable of perceiving.

Question: But what if a person tries to think correctly, in a positive direction, even though his eyes do not see it that way?

Answer: If his eyes do not see it, then it is not real for him, and such a state is very unstable. It does not truly belong to him, and he will not be able to take hold of it and maintain it. Only through an inner correction that a person performs within himself can he be certain that he will preserve such a perception, because it then becomes his nature.
